Beach Books in October?

Ok, there are 2 different ways to look at the timing of the latest arrivals on YA shelf. If you're a surly cynic, you'll say that they're a couple of months too late. If you're an optimist, you'll say that they're the perfect antidote to the sudden drop in temperature we're experiencing here in south-central Pennsylvania. However you choose to look at it, we now have the first installments of the Summer Boys series by Hailey Abbott, Summer Boys and Next Summer. The cover photos pretty much say it all - sun, sand, surf, and good-looking guys. Sounds like a great way to escape the chilly weather for a few hours. If you're a stickler for reading series books in order, Summer Boys is first.
